here are some of mine: 1. bruce springsteen, i'm on fire Hey little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go and leave you all alone? Mhmm I got a bad desire Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire Tell me now, baby, is he good to you? And can he do to you the things that I do? Oh no I can take you higher Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire 😦😦😦 2. The police, every step you take Every breath you take And every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take I'll be watching you … Every single day And every word you say Every game you play Every night you stay I'll be watching you

Every breath you take is less creepy when you imagine it is voiced from the point of view of a dog and their owner.

I think the writer of Every Breath You Take actually doesn’t like people romanticizing the song because it’s about stalking. Might’ve been someone else tho

That’s true. It’s not written from Sting’s point of view, but from a stalker’s.

    "Informer" by Snow I thought it was a song with a bunch of weird jibberish. Now I know he's talking about being falsely accused of smuggling drugs and the invasive process he had to go through. The visuals are too... uncomfortable, and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to find it humorous or outraged, or what? Awkward.

    Basically half the Japanese songs I listen to. I listen to it without knowing what they are saying & search for the lyrics for it to be quite disturbing(To the normal person's standards) and be like "Dang, but it sounds so uplifting". One example is "Under Kids" by TUYU. I still like the song, I just have to be careful when talking to other people when they ask what artist I listen to.(Go Hololive)

    Brown Sugar by The Rolling Stones “Scarred old slaver, you know he’s doing alright, Hear him whip the women just around midnight.” I know it was written over 50 years ago, but there is just no excuse for these lyrics.

    Fitzpleasure but Alt-J. It's based on a story from a collection that my teacher thought I should read. The particular story is essentially about a woman agreeing to sleeping with a couple of guys at a bar, turning quickly into a non-consensual gang situation with more and more guys showing up and using worse and worse things on her... pool cues, to broomsticks, to glass bottles... so that continued until she died and was tossed in with garbage on a vacant lot, while others looked on disgusted by her. Yup so that gem horrified me when i was like 16... alt-j has so much distortion, I did not notice the lyrics for a while until I heard the line "Broomstick pleasure"... and immediately thought about that story, realising her name was Tralala. Ever since then, I cannot listen to it. It was super horrifying.

    Sharona is a real woman who was creeped on as a teenager by the band’s singer. I don’t think she’s a fan.

    It's never cold enough that being held captive and raped is a better alternative. The coercion is a real (and scared) thing!

    Coercion is real... but 1. She wasn't being held captive he was pressuring her to stay but it wasn't forcible confinement. 2. Sexual harassment not rape-- not to mention the actual origin of the song is playful and consensual but when scrutinized now the original meaning gets ignored. In any case, it may have seemed pedantic but as a rape survivor myself, it's a very important distinction as it is referring to stuff like this as rape that causes actual rape to be taken less seriously and treated like it is someone being 'overdramatic'-- shouldn't be the case but unfortunately that's just how it goes. There are far worse songs and far worse things going on in the world. But yes, out of context, the lyrics can come across as creepy.

    Fashionably Late by Falling In Reverse. At first it seems like a catchy song, but once you get to lines like "and after all you're not my type, but all your friends are pretty nice" and "without a doubt I'm sorry about fvcking all your friends" I just can't listen to it.

    Cheesy old 80s tune “Don’t You Want Me” by The Human League. Don’t, don’t you want me You know I don’t believe it when I hear that you won’t see me Don’t, don’t you want me You know I don’t believe you when you say that you don’t need me It’s much too late to find You think you’ve changed your mind You better change it back Or we will both be sorry Having easy access to lyrics these days has really ruined a lot of songs I enjoyed in my childhood and teens.
